Valves sound ok?

It’s been a bit since I’ve adjusted valves and I’m always super paranoid they are tapping too much. Do they sound ok to you guys or should I give them another check? Thanks for helping my ocd and anxiety either way lol

Tappy valves are happy valves, I'm told. Mine are chatty too. I adjusted them recently @ 2000 miles and they're still noisy. I'm trying to accept it. How's yours running? Mines doing ok, so I'm gonna let it ride. I still have fleeting moments of thinking the Hawk might grenade any second, but I'm working through it.

Well it no longer requires any choke to get started from cold. It just fires right up.

I was starting to notice some hesitation, like the bike was almost fighting against itself, seemed much better after adjustment.

I understand the paranoia! I love all my bikes and I don’t want to screw something up and damage them, no matter how cheap they are.

That sounds like the right level of clatter for this engine.
